Hot Honey Watermelon Feta Salad.

Every summer has one dish I make on repeat until people are sick of hearing about it. This year it is this salad. I am not sorry.

Hot Honey Watermelon Feta Salad. Sweet, salty, herby, with a slow lean of heat underneath. It takes five minutes and it tastes like the whole season in a bowl.

HOT HONEY WATERMELON FETA SALAD

You will need:

- Cold watermelon, cubed

- Feta, crumbled or in slabs

- Fresh mint, torn

- Spice Witch Hot Honey

- Flaky salt

- A squeeze of lime, optional

What you do:

Pile the cold watermelon on a plate or in a shallow bowl.

Crumble or lay the feta over the top.

Tear mint all over.

Drizzle Hot Honey, more than feels reasonable.

Finish with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime if you have it.

Eat cold, ideally outside.

WHY IT WORKS

Watermelon and feta is already a perfect pair, sweet against salty. The mint makes it feel fresh. The Hot Honey is the thing that takes it from a nice summer salad to a salad people ask you about. The slow heat plays against the sweet melon, and the salt ties it all together.

It is a side, a starter, a light lunch, or the thing you bring to the cookout that disappears first.

Make it this week, while the melon is still good. You have earned an easy, beautiful dinner.
